Welcome to the Center For Magnetic Resonance And Optical Imaging

The CMROI is dedicated to the development and application of innovative, novel magnetic resonance and optical imaging techniques. The facility’s core sections provide research and computing resources for numerous user, collaborative, and training projects.

The focus of this resource is on developing instrumentation, methodologies, and data analysis techniques for the quantitative assessment of functional, structural, and metabolic parameters in humans with the use of multinuclear magnetic resonance, novel spectral, perfusion, functional, and optical imaging techniques.

We are supported by the NIBIB under Grant No. P41 EB015893. For the latest analytics on website traffic, please download this report.

Revealing Heart Damage Earlier
CMROI researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have developed a high-resolution MRI technique to visualize disruptions in energy metabolism in the heart, often a sign of disease. The technique could help doctors identify damaged heart tissue earlier in patients with coronary artery disease or other hear ...
